Emptiness 2025
Exhibizone invites artists worldwide to visualize and share their artistic expressions of Emptiness in our annual international exhibition, promotion, and sales opportunity, celebrating its fourth year in 2025.
Emptiness is a concept with profound layers, transcending simple definitions. From a Western perspective, it often conveys loneliness, sorrow, or the void of purpose. However, in Eastern philosophies, Emptiness can represent stillness, harmony, and the essence of life itself. Lao Tzu’s timeless words in the Tao Te Ching remind us: “We mold clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that makes the vessel useful.”
